Field docs without the enterprise tax
Some crews want a 90-second answer. Others want a whole trade-specific habit. We split things that way on purpose—use-case pages when you are pitching a workflow to yourself, comparison pages when you are picking tools, trade pages when the sparky on your crew rolls eyes at “just take more photos,” and examples when you need something to steal outright.

Trade notesElectrical, plumbing, remodel, roof, concrete, paint—same app, different habits.
Templates & examplesEmails, caption lists, tag sets, and scripts you can copy and ugly-edit until they sound like you.
